Loaded Hummus with Crispy Chickpeas
Levant's legendary hummus elevated to a full meal — the creamiest possible hummus (chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon and garlic until cloud-soft) loaded with roasted crispy spiced chickpeas, warm spiced lamb mince, pine nuts, olive oil and parsley. The contrast of warm topping and cold creamy hummus is the point.
